Oxidation of Monotetrahydropyranylated Short-Chain Symmetrical Diols

Pages 3243-3250 | Received 18 Mar 2003, Published online: 17 Aug 2006
 

Abstract

The free hydroxyl functions of monotetrahydropyranylated three- to five-carbon symmetrical primary diols are oxidized to aldehydes, without cleavage of the protective group, by using pyridinium dichromate in CH2Cl2 and anhydrous MgSO4 as a water scavenger. The oxidation procedure is improved for these specific compounds since over oxidation to carboxylic acids and formation of dimeric esters are suppressed.
